We need to reduce the general availability of handguns, that much is clear. Whether a flat-out ban is the way to go is less clear.



How is it clear that we need to?
Are you views based on a sincere belief that crime will drop or is it due to unrelated philosophical or political reasons?
Why do you think strict gun laws are real solutions instead of theater?
What empirical evidence do you have that it would bring out the improvement?
Are you aware that peer reviewed research by liberal criminologists reject the more guns=more crime thesis?
Can you show a country or state where strict gun control reduced violent crime?
How familiar are you with current federal gun control laws?
How familiar are you with gun control laws of the Western Europe countries?
How familiar are you with gun ownership in Europe and Canada?

Hopefully you will be the first anti that can have an open discussion with out resorting to non sequitur, ad hominem attacks, and fact free talking points.
